Customer Reviews Stacy Adams Madison Boot

Though the laces are too short, this shoe looks great, almost like patent leather. I have ordered 3 pair to get the right fit but all of them squeak, considerably more and louder than any shoes I've ever heard! Because of this I doubt I will be keeping them even though I finally got an acceptable fit.

These shoes have been on my "must have" list for a long time and I finally got to order them. As often happens with Zappos, my first choice in size was not available but since the shoe looks like it runs narrow I gambled on the next half-size up, which is really more like a full size difference so I\'ll have to return them. Who knows if my size will become available-I have used the size notification feature of the website many times but have rarely been notified. The shaft lining is plastic, the tongue and rear footbed lining are the same thin, shiny leather as the outside, the instep lining is cotton fabric and the front footbed lining is paper, which is not unusual, but the description says the lining is leather. The shoes squeak alot and the shoe strings are too short to tie. I like the style so much that unless I find something similar, I\'ll reorder from Zappos if they get my size in and replace the shoestrings.

Nice stile but $100 is a bit much for thin leather, non leather lining and they squeak like hell. I still kept them as I can't find another like them in black. Size feels true for me.

Looks sharp, but not great on comfort - I love the look of this boot, but I find the arch to be too far forward. Plus, the boots make a weird scrunching noise, which I think is the leather breaking in. And a small complaint: the laces the shoes came with were frayed AND too short to actually tie the boot all the way up.

Looks 10, Comfort 3 - I'm an actor, and I bought these shoes to wear in a show set in the Victorian era. They look great, though they took a week or so to break in – a little uncomfortable at first rubbing against ankle. Not much cushion in the sole – if you'll wear these heavily as I am, you'll want some padded insoles.

Handsome, but... Bought these for my husband for a dress event, and they are very handsome. Every time he wears them, strangers come up to him and indentify the shoes by name. Stacy Adams Madison has quite a following. My husband says they're very comfortable and wears them all the time now. My only quibble with them is that after he wore them for an hour, the coating on the sole began to peel off, exposing a sole that doesn't look like leather, it looks like...I don't know...particle board. It's weird. If I were wearing them, I would have taken them to a shoemaker to find out what the heck that sole is made of. But my husband loves them too much to part with them or return them.

Madison Not the Best - The fit is good, but the brackets for the upper laces pop off very easily and need to be replaced. The sole loses its outer skin very quickly.

Ordered the Madison boot on Friday, recieved it on Monday at no extra cost to me. Was not happy with the boot, seemed narrow and a full size larger in the toe. The madison boot was not much to look at either when I recieved it, appeared cheap to me.

These looked nice, but strangely, the shoelaces that came with them were too short to accommodate all of the eyelets. The leather seemed a bit stiff. The only width available was one size larger than my husband usually wears, but he said they were fine, so I assume the boots run narrow. The contrasting light brown at the top of the sole (visible when looking down) is much more obvious in person. My husband rejected these immediately after trying them on (on carpet), because he thought the soles were so smooth that they gave absolutely no traction, and he would fall. Returned.

I purchased this shoe because it is a great looking shoe that seemed to be just what I was looking for--a stylish versatile dress boot. Upon receiving it, I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed. The shoe looks great but the upper material is sooooo thin. I just don't think it these boots would hold up for more several months before I started to see tearing. Also, the sizing seems to be off. I'm pretty much a 9D and this shoe is much narrower than a D width. I could barely get my foot into it just to check the size. Once I did, there was some serious pressure on the phalange bones where they connect to the metatarsal bones. Just not a well-fitted shoe overall.

These boots are sprit Halloween costume quality. I will be sending them back.
